“There can be no certainty as to the future impact of Covid-19 on the group. If governments were to strengthen restrictions on social gathering, which may therefore oblige us to close our estate again or further push back movie releases, it would have a negative impact on our financial performance and likely require the need to raise additional liquidity,” said the cinema operator in the statement.
Cineworld share price hit a fresh 6-week low yesterday at 39p. The stock price is now trading at around 43p as it attempts to get back above the 50p mark.
